IT behooves the representative bodies
Of Wheeling in giving expression to their
desire for the advancement Of the city'a
interests by tho construction Of union
railroad bridge and in other ways, to take
no step that can result in injury to those
interests. The INrEIIlaENcER, as is well
known, 10 in favor Of this project and Of
all projec!s that can rebound to the ad-
vantage Of Wheeling and contribute to
the prosperity Of her people. But there
are serious questions which must bo con.
fronted before anything can be accom-.
plishsd, and the time to confront these
questions is nov. Great business under
takings must be gone about in q business.
like way. In the fist place, is there not
reason 10 believe that the union railroad
bridge will be built when there Is a rail.
road ready to cross it? Can the city raise
the money to build it without exceeding
the constitutional limit Of taxation ? II
not, may not positive harm result from
the imqenslon now being created that
the city is willing and able to
build tho bridge? II such On Impression
goes abroad, the result will be to deter
those mon who contemplate the erection
OF bridge as business investment, and
thus retard tho very end which It is de.
sired to hasten. Nothing is to be lost by
proceeding in: "a business-like way, and
taking no stop until careful investigation
shows that to be the. right step to take.
The frat thing to do is to ASCERTAIN what
are the present plans Of those gentlemen
who hold the franchise for bridge. Thia
being ascestained, 1t may, be possible that
the best thing for the city to do is to do
nothing, Certainly no action should be
taken until 1t Is apparent that it canno.
do harm instead Of good. N. III

THOSE business men in st. Louis who

H #"The Americans suffer ia more than
one respect from Misrepresentation Of the
analogy Of the constitution of the two
nations: America, with its great aggrega-
ton Of States, Is something like the vast
continent Of Europe with NIL its different
nations. New York and California, for
instance, are widely separated, and their
respective needs differ very: much. But
the relations between England and Ireland
must be as close aa those between Kent
and Middlese1. It is impossible to con-
ceive Of two separate and financial and
commercial policies in England and Ire-
land which would not be disastrous and
conflicting to both, particularly to Ireland.
In many other ways the needs Of Ireland
and England are 30 similar that while

safely be two separate and widely diver.
